About Me

I love to photograph people and capture other fascinating subjects. In the past I wrote a bi-monthly column for the Ottawa Citizen newspaper, have had photographs on book covers and magazines. I still have so much I want to accomplish!

If you are interested in working with me, that is music to my ears - just give me a call 1-613-282-1568 or contact me via email: john@johnwmacdonald.com Travel is welcome.
